  • British Police Shows

    From Dumas Walker@VERT/CAPCITY2 to All on Thu Jul 30 18:32:47 2020
    OK, on every British police show I have ever seen, the officers are rarely armed. They usually call in an armed unit (like a SWAT team) when they are facing armed bad gues.

    DCI Banks, Inspector Lewis, Scott and Bailey... the cops are rarely armed.

    So, I have seen one episode of a show called Bulletproof. Maybe the name should
    have given it away, but it seems much more like an American cop show. Plainclothes and SWAT-type cops, they are all armed and shooting.

    I've watched some Canadian police shows, but very little from across the pond. Law and Order UK was like watching a precedural drama set place in an alternate universe. The UK version of Life on Mars and it's spinoff Ashes to Ashes were interesting view of old 70's police shows viewed from a modern angle.

    I kinda fancied Water Rats from Down Under. First 2 seasons were pretty good and the female detective was pretty hot too.
